Kreenholm Area and Kreenholm Textile Factory, Narva

18-year-old Ludwig Knopf first thing in Moscow studied art there are lots, lots to drink and not to lose the thread of the conversation. He met with Savoy Morozov. From German and old believer Morozov Knopff have raised several concerns turned out to be a lot in common. Both became acquainted with textile business in Manchester, both realized in technique and in Commerce. Sawa studied chemistry at Cambridge, argued with Mendeleev, experiments with dyes. Ludwig studied at the cotton factory De Jersey that specialized in British exports of yarn to Russia. In the year 1842 the British lifted their embargo machines abroad. Savva Morozov would not be as rich if built all on their money. He wanted to equip their modern manufactory Built English embroidery machines, but didn't want to spend their money. Solution found Ludwig Knopf. He persuaded the owners of De Jersey put machines on credit. Savva Morozov became the owner of most modern factory in Russia, and Knopf became the owner of the schema of the alteration or construction of weaving manufactories "turnkey". Ludwig Knopf found money, brought machines, organized maintenance forces and. ... included in the authorized capital of the manufactory. So Knopf became Baron, owner of 122 factories with offices in New Orleans and Bombay and Lev Georgievich Knopom. "Where the Church, there's pop, and where the factory is there Knop". This is Moscow's proverb of the time. Bug became a monopolist supplies cotton from United States, banker issuing promissory notes and the guarantor of the complex system transactions. Ludwig Knop never entered into agreements with partners in writing: that the transaction took place, it was enough of one handshake. In 1856, he bought the family island Sutgof Kreenholm Narva and built there the largest company in the world. English "Half" wrote: "according to the experts, some Russian manufactures the best in the world, not only in terms of devices and features.

The quarter is very different from the main buildings of the city. Here is so quiet and peaceful. Beautiful architecture of buildings of red brick. The State, despite his age, very good. On the territory of the factory were not what really regret because we love all the devastation. Recommend take a guide and go for a walk on the territory

Krengolmskaja factory is a large weaving plant, located in Narva, Estonia. Founded By Ludwig Knoppom. At the time of the founding of the company was the largest in the world. At the time of our visit (April 2017 onwards) is in ruins for more than 20 years. Kreenholm (as they call it people of Narva) is a huge abandoned territory. Is under very vigilant protection. We found a local guide and for 60 euros got gorgeous story and journey of nearly 100 years ago. Immediately, if you you like destruktivizm-then you just here. If classicism, clean and tidy-don't even think to visit this place. I have mixed impressions about the peseshhenii of this place. 1. factory-scale Struck when there were 10 000 jobs! 6 huge buildings. This is a separate island with "all" from the boiler to the bakery. 2. How! You can break up this giant, which for nearly 100 years worked profitably and "suddenly" was not needed. 3. Why! before this timer and no application of this territory. We spent 3:00 studying the abandoned factory. Entering the shop. Climbed to the roof of one of the buildings. Let me remind you. the factory stands on an island in the Delta of the River Narva, on the one hand Russia, Estonia, on the other. Above the river shutter hydroelectric power station. We were lucky and this period is reset, which guides called waterfalls. There's a lot to see. So, if you happen to stay for a few days-Navre visit Kreenholm, but specifically not required.
